“Easy Peasey”

★★★★★

written by ShirlAS on 13/04/2024

It was just so easy to renew my car insurance, I was sent a renewal figure, rang for extra discount being a pensioner, accepted that and took it out! Couldn’t be simpler! I’ve already recommended Dial Direct to my friends and relatives.....

“Car insurance renewal”

★★★★★

written by xjLeslie333 on 08/04/2024

One of the easiest renewal policies I’ve ever had, did not give overinflated price then magically reduced it when asked!!! price was one of the lowest I found on comparison sites and had extras included at no extra cost unlike other insurance quotes!!!

“Great value”

★★★★★

written by Caterham7 on 07/04/2024

Car insurance renewal time - checked the Internet for quotes and couldn’t match the price and cover I had already enjoyed for the previous 12 months. I needed to change the payment card which needed a call to customer services - the call was polite, professional and completed in a timely manner. Overall very happy with the product and service. Recommended.

“Left hand doesn't know what right hand is doing ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by IanPaulLambert on 29/03/2024

Purchased policy easily enough. However when I followed the e-mailed link to open an account to view documentation was informed that policy had expired. This is because I previously had a policy with Dial Direct. So the old policy is still on the system but the new one isn't and I don't know if I insured and if I am I can't access my documentation. Money's been taken from my account so one part of the system works, the part that suits them. Chatbot couldn't solve problem, office closed for Bank Holiday, I'm left in limbo. Enough said.

Hello IanPaulLambert,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review!

I am sorry you are having difficulties logging on line it sounds like you will need to link your new account to bypass the old one to access your new policy.

Although it is bank holiday we remain open, you can call or web chat our customer service team and they will be happy to help resolve your access.

“Great price spoilt by demand for auto renewal ”

★★★☆☆

written by Kilgoreqi428 on 29/03/2024

The car insurance price was really was good - 50 % less than the highest quote . However , D Dial demand that you sign for an auto renewal service which allows them to take cash from your account next year at the renewal date . They do promise to remind you a couple of days before then but that is not enough to get alternative competitive quotes as that is best done 3 weeks or so before the due date . D Dial also indicates that you can change the auto renewal AFTER you pay but it is not obvious and creates a sense of customer manipulation which borders on inertia selling . Not a good look and demands that the customer is on the ball and is proactive for the next renewal rather than D Dial giving more notice and even though they could potentially offer another great price next year , you are left with the feeling that they are going to try and slip one past you at renewal time . They could have had 5 stars instead of 3 but until they review their auto renewal demand they don’t deserve 5 stars .

“Fantastic and easy”

★★★★★

written by LeaTempleton1994 on 26/03/2024

It was very easy and simple to purchase car insurance online. Fantastic and easy. Thr overall process only took a few minutes and was clear and concise. I would highly recommend Dial Direct to others. I can suggest to type their name in your Internet browser and follow the simple instructions as I did. Its very easy compared to others who just publish endless statements that you have complete before you even enter your info.

“Average company ”

★★★☆☆

written by Ansleyh342 on 21/03/2024

My insurance was more than double what I had previously paid the year before. Staff are normally very helpful but I ended up in an argument with one member of staff who didn't hear my date of birth correctly and continued to tell me I didn't have a policy with them. The next time I rang I asked them to look for cheaper quotes which they are normally more than happy to do this time it just seemed to much effort. If I could of found a cheaper quote I would have gone elsewhere.

“Unacceptable charge”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Ladydriver1953 on 20/03/2024

Having taken the policy out through a comparison site they charged us a fee for “a change” which was only made necessary because of misleading questions relating to a no-fault accident, where we had put the drivers name instead of the policy owners. The “change” had absolutely no impact on the policy and didn’t change the cost of the policy. They quoted a cost for the change and then tried to charge more than had been quoted, but reduced it following a complaint. It’s too late now to cancel but I won’t be renewing with them and won’t ever recommend them to anyone.

What do you mean " misfortune" it's a bit vague. I have insurance for my car with them and never had a problem
Report this content virtualpict Written on: 18/07/2016
I don't know what you mean by "misfortune"? Very vague as previous person said. I have insurance with this company for both our cars and have done for a few years. I also had home contents insurance with them. The quotes are very reasonable. The RAC breakdown cover is invaluable and legal cover is included too. I don't ever just renew, I still shop around and then get Dial Direct to better the quote. You have to haggle. When I did claim in 2011 for an accident, it was straightforward and painless. I got a courtesy car no problem. The people I deal with at the call centre are very pleasant and professional, like with all people if you treat them nicely and not like dirt, then they'll be nice back! It is easy to log in to the account and we don't have huge wads of paper sent in the post.
